Latest TV on the new Sussex Police Chief Constable, Jo Shiner

Latest TV News Editor, Mark Walker, speaks to Latest TV Presenter, Yael Breuer, about the new female Chief Constable for Sussex Police, Jo Shiner. Recent improvements, largely due to council tax precept investment and other funding have enabled the force to create new and effective teams to improve outcomes. These include the Tactical Enforcement Units, rural policing crime teams, greater prevention teams, and administrative support for investigators so they can focus on investigating crimes where people are most at risk. Commenting on the confirmation hearing, Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne said: “I am delighted that the Panel has supported my decision to appoint Jo Shiner as the next Chief Constable of Sussex. “Chief Constable Shiner clearly and professionally demonstrated her skills and capabilities at the confirmation hearing. She outlined her exciting plans for Sussex Police, focusing on tougher enforcement and more proactive, visible policing. She has pledged to make Sussex Police tougher on tackling criminality and even more supportive to victims of crime; and to put more officers out on the beat engaging with residents and visitors in our city, towns and villages. I have every confidence in her to lead our expanding force into the future and I look forward to working closely with her and her senior team to deliver a top-quality policing service to our residents.”
